If this is what we know about the place, imagine what hasn’t even come out yet
They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Don’t Let the Environmental Protection Agency Abandon Manatees
More Florida manatees have already died this year than in either 2024 or 2023 as the species faces growing threats and possible extinction. But the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is axing programs to stop wastewater and agricultural runoff from entering Florida’s waterways and harmful algal outbreaks that kill off the seagrass manatees depend upon for food. Will you urge Congress to intervene and save crucial Environmental Protection Agency programs that protect and save manatees?
